Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called. For Jehovah hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, saith thy God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee." — Isaiah 54:5-7 (ASV)

The LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall be called. "For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. For a small moment"–

Not "a moment," but "for a small moment."
